HEART WEEK 2016!!

Submitted by annamaryc on Sat, 01/09/2016 - 20:42

We have lots of awareness planned for Heart Week 2016.
Check back in often to see what we are adding!

On the schedule:
It's My Heart New England is teaming up with the American Heart Association to spread CHD Awareness by distributing red hats to babies in NH and VT hospitals. If you knit or crochet, or know someone who does, please help us get to our goal of 900 hats! All hats must be submitted by January 15 in order to be laundered for February delivery. If you don't knit or crochet, but still want to be involved, we will gladly accept donations of red yarn. E-mail us at ne@itsmyheart.org for more information.

It's My Heart New England is teaming up with Danvers Cable Access Television (DCAT) to host a fundraising night at Buffalo Wild Wings in Danvers to spread CHD Awareness. The fundraising night will be held on Monday, February 8. We are looking for heart families who would like to be interviewed for the PSA for the event, which will run in the weeks leading up to and through heart week. Interviews are Jan 12 and 13. Please call us at 351-201-1533 if you are interested in sharing your story.

It's My Heart New England will host our 5th Annual Heart Social at Boston University's Fitness and Recreation Center on Saturday, February 13 from 1-4pm. Join us for some great food, fun conversation, and crafts and activities for the kids. Admission to the social is free, but parking is $12.

It's My Heart New England will raise awareness throughout New England schools by distributing heart facts and posters, as well as by having guest speakers go into school to read books and share stories. If you would like a template to share at your child's school, please e-mail us at ne@itsmyheart.org

It's My Heart New England will team up with other local support groups to provide a great lunch and lots of goodies to the in-patient cardiac unit at Boston Children's Hospital.
